Global Shutter Board Camera & USB Board Camera for Embedded Vision Systems
Global Shutter Board Camera and USB Board Camera for Embedded Vision

Our board camera lineup offers compact and flexible imaging for PCs and embedded platforms such as ARM, Raspberry Pi, and Odroid. Available in both global shutter board camera and USB board camera variants, these designs support a wide range of parallel and MIPI sensors (global and rolling shutter). Board camera USB options follow USB2.0/USB3.0 standards for seamless integration and UVC-based, driver-free deployment.

UVC (USB Video Class) for Board Camera USB

UVC is a standard USB device class. Drivers for UVC cameras are preinstalled in major operating systems, so USB board camera devices are typically plug-and-play. Connect directly via USB on Windows or Linux without additional drivers, making board camera USB integration fast and reliable for embedded vision projects.

What the Board Camera Contains

A board camera integrates the optics (lens) and image sensor according to application needs—FOV, resolution, and sensor features— and pairs with a video capture/control unit over USB for the host system. For image processing, you can tailor filters (e.g., IR-cut/IR-pass), DSP or MCU compatibility, sensor command sets, and target frame rates. IADIY also offers feature-rich options such as Wide Dynamic Range (WDR), low-light enhancement, and multiple lens FOVs across our global shutter board camera and USB board camera series.

Global Shutter Board Camera

Unlocking Dynamic Imaging with Global Shutter Board Camera

An electronic shutter electronically turns the image sensor on and off to control exposure. The sensor starts detecting light when activated and stops detecting light when deactivated.

Rolling Shutter vs Global Shutter Board Camera

Rolling shutter cameras capture the scene line by line, from top to bottom, causing a time difference between top and bottom parts. Motion or camera movement results in the distortion known as the rolling shutter effect.

On the other hand, a global shutter board camera is designed to capture an image by simultaneously exposing all the pixels in its image sensor to light for a brief period of time. Unlike a rolling shutter camera, which scans the image sensor row by row, a global shutter board camera captures the entire image instantaneously.

Rolling Shutter Distortion Effect

Rolling shutter distortion is an effect that can occur while using rolling shutter cameras to capture fast-moving subjects. It is caused by the delay between the beginning and the end of the sensor readout. This can result in vertical or horizontal lines appearing bent or slanted, giving the image a distorted appearance.

More information about global shutter board cameras is available at camera sensor module introduction or custom camera module requirements flow.

Visual Anomalies from Rolling Shutter

Since the rolling shutter captures different parts of the image at slightly different times, it can create motion blurriness. When there is an object moving at a very high speed, it may appear distorted or elongated due to the time difference in capturing different parts of the target. This is particularly noticeable in sports photography or when capturing moving vehicles.

A faster shutter speed reduces the sensor's exposure time to light, helping to minimize motion blur. However, even at high shutter speeds, rolling shutter distortion can still occur if the subject is moving extremely fast. In such cases, the most effective solution is to use a global shutter board camera. For capturing high-speed motion accurately, we recommend trying our global shutter board camera.
